Health is Wealth...

I would have never realised the strengths I am blessed with and to live happily until I got sick and bed arrested with chicken pox virus recently. To tell you I never had any serious health concerns before to this. It was miserable days with no family members around to take care and console me as I was thousands of miles away from my parents and well wishers. Chicken pox at adult age is very difficult to withstand and recover.. Keeping this on one side, I some times used to be curse on my fate remembering failures in life like not making out of getting a seat in IIT's or missing a beloved one. I had a feeling why it was me all the time with no luck and people with less hardwork or those who I feel does not deserve pass thru it... Those 3 weeks of rest at home made me to recollect memories of life from child hood to recent life of what I achevied and what I failed. Overall, I had seen more than 50 percent success in my life. But still I used to live in a feeling of unhappiness about what I missed rather than enjoying and be proud of what I acheived. The sick days has really made me to remember what god has gifted to me, the good Health. I realised the value of great saying in telugu, "aarogeymey maha bagayam". From that day on, I am happy with no regrets to any thing that does not work out in my favour. I live in the feeling of If I lost something it is for a good reason.

Loooong weekend passed...

The Easter long weekend of 4 days passed just like that... It was an indoor weekend with time spent in surfing, watching movies, reading blogs and a little upgradtion to my professional skills. My desire to see a snow fall happened on sunday morning. It was specatular view from my window and I enjoyed it a lot. I watched the movie, 'Employee of the month' which I enjoyed a lot. The heroes approach to becoming employee of the month to impress a blonde girl and how he manages to be on upper side in the race is well presented.

I work in IT and never questioned my self what it means to a business until I saw the video of Ralph Szygenda, CIO of IBM on the way IBM transformed GM business model and addressed their biggest concern on minimizing life cycle of a new product development. It was a spectaculor presentation on how IBM introduction of IT in to GM company has transformed them to be a well intergrated company. Thought provoking... since then so many ideas are wandering in my mind on what new areas to explore which can be benefited from IT revolution. As usual I met my pals in badminton sessions and exchanged words on future of IT with current recession in US. Over all its a good weekend..

Life in London....

Hi amigos,

I am one of those lucky persons from India who was blessed with an onsite opportunity by my host company to UK for an assignment. Its almost 10 months passed by here and there are so many interesting observations I made.

People here are worth for an appreciation for the commitment to the job they do. Very few sees job as a money earning routine. Most of them enjoy life in a lavish spendings with less importance to saving grains for tommorow..

City is a blend of people from different ethnic groups which give you a chance to know about various cultures and their lifestyles...

I will write more about my personal experiences in london in my follow up posts..
